1 month ago Potential "problem":
- A kid (Adam) starts the scavenger hunt when there's 10 puzzles to do.
- Adam does 8 puzzles.
- We realise that 2 puzzles (that Adam has already done) are buggy, and we disable them, so the total number of puzzles becomes 8.
- Adam does the 9th puzzle
- If we're not careful, Adam we'll receive a "you've done 9/8 puzzles" or "you're 112.5% of the way through"
Solution:
Calculate Adam's progress as 1 - (N missing puzzles / N enabled puzzles)
This should be feasible since, as far as I can tell, the database knows which puzzles Adam has already submitted a correct answer to
Ideally we'd have a mechanism for a user to see their progress. This should help with the kids' engagement. It could either be via its own page (a "personal stats/progress" page), or as part of the "you successfully completed this puzzle" page ("you successfully completed this puzzle, you're 3/N of the way through").
For bonus points, we could style it so that there is a (synchrotron-themed?) shape that fills up with their progress percentage.
